Re: Computer Control For Hydraulic System

Sensor for hand:

Try the Nintendo Power glove?  It has material in the joints
that varies resistance as you bend it.

how about two cameras, one above your hand, one on the
side.  You should be able to tell which fingers are bent
from the camera above, and how far they are bent from
the camera to the side.  you could make the software
easier by wearing a white glove, with large dots of
color on each joint of each finger.  Make them different
colors for each finger.

or get a glove that is made of thin material, and start
epoxying rotary encoders or potentiometers to each
joint.  I count 14 joints on my hand, not including
the ability of the thumb + palm to fold onto the hand.
